Guild Wars 2

Mouse look still buggy and FPS is low

I know this is a work in progress, so here is my experience with Guild Wars 2 in playonmac over the last 2 days.

The mouse look is still very buggy. If I right click the camera spins and usually ends up in a weird angle. If I click again near my characters feet, I can usually use mouse turning to various degrees of success, but it is sporadic and makes combat and especially any of the platforming elements very difficult. I downloaded the Gw2 Beta 2 FIx.app wrapper from The Porting Team and the mouse issues have been resolved for the most part. It still isn't perfect but is very close. Can you look into the settings they are using to fix the issue in your build?

Your version does not suffer from the severe graphical issues I have seen in others. Big kudos to you...especially since I do not have the ability to do any of this myself, and am just hoping that posting here provides some good feedback. I do suffer from low FPS even with low settings.

I read this on the winhq comments "For anyone having performance issues, make sure you don't have any directx dll overrides. I made the mistake of installing directx with winetricks and when I removed them I went from 10-20 fps with some stutter on low settings to 50-60 fps on everything maxed except low shadows and reflections turned off. This is using a nvidia graphics card though."

Are there settings in playonmac to get these kind of results?

Thanks again for your hard work.

FYI...here are my specs:
Retina MacBook Pro
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
8gb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

I can not get GW2 to install. After the first downloading screen, the screen just goes black and won't progress beyond this. Considering you already have it installed, could you give me some things to try? Did you run into this issue?

My macbook is not as good as yours:
4GB RAM
2.5 GHz Core i5
Intel HD Graphics 4000 384 MB

Thanks!

This was the first wineskin I have used. I just followed the wizard and it worked for me. I didn't have to use any tricks to get it to work. Sorry you are having trouble.

@ Haywood
I just tried Playing this and I only get around ~4 fps.
You suggested removing the DX DLLs?
How do I do that?

I have a Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz i7 on OSX Lion
4GB RAM
ATI 6770M 1GB

I have tried playing this after booting to bootcamp and I get 60+fps. Just would like to get it to work in OSX.

Also on a side note...
When I ran the game I looking OSX's Activity report and I could see that wine was using 227% of the cpu and only about 850MB or RAM.
Does wine on mac not make use of the multiple cores well?
Just trying to troubleshoot what the real issue is with my performance.

Try with wine 1.4.1-GuildWars2

It ran about 20 fps, locked to full screen 1024x768 and had VERY bad graphic glitches coming from the character model and terrain disappearing.

Hi all, new member. :)

Just thought I'd register to pop my findings in here to try and help...

I've tried installing GW2 using 1.4.1-GuildWars2 and get the same as I was with the other attempts I've had. Namely, it starts and does a small download (as to be expected), then goes to the black screen and stays indefinitely.

TLDR: Doesn't work. :)

I'm running a mid 2011 iMac, i5 2.5 GHz, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512MB, and running OS X 10.8.1 (Mountain Lion).

Let me know if you think of anything else worth trying. :)

Any other suggestions for making this work better under PlayOnMac?
I am going to upgrade my RAM today to 8GB and maybe that will help. But when it was using so much CPU... not sure it will help.

Hey Guys!

I got the game files from a friend to prevent me from downloading everything. So i was wondering if it's possible to install the game with existing files?

I am able to get GW2 to run in playon, howvere I only get about 2-3 FPS. Unplayable with 1.5.12-GuildWars2 Wine Version.

With the wine 1.4.1-GuildWars2 build, I get 25-30 FPS but with horrid clipping.

I havn't installed or tried installing any other special drivers. Any advice?

Almost the exact same situation here as Kadynn above.
I get 3-4 FPS and a second+ lag with any version beyond 1.4.1 which runs at 12-15 but has very annoying clipping (especially on the moa birds). I've tried 1.5.11 and 1.5.12 but they are unplayable. I'd be happy with the results of 1.4.1 if the clipping could be fixed.

I know my way around computers but I don't know about changing coding or some such.

If anyone has some suggestions I'd love to hear. Thanks

Hello, i used playonmac to install guild wars 2 yesterday. After installing it all day with crashes every 10 mins I finally got it installed and was able to go into the game and play.

Only problem is it is really laggy. Does anyone know how to fix this? In game I already selected "best performance" but it still lags. Is there a setting on playonmac I'm missing? I'm using snow leopard 10.6.8 on a late 2008 17 inch Mac

So... I have Guild Wars 2 installed on playonmac. I played the game and it's laggy. I know it's testing. But 3 questions.

1. When will it be 100% playable with no lag

2. Will the game automatically be fixed or do I have to redownload it when it's done with testing. When all the problems get fixed will it fix it's self or do I re install? 

3. Currently I am experiencing 7 - 12 FPS. Is this normal? Will it improve or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
D
